2023 Annual Oration — The Science and Art of Making Medical Decisions – 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM
Format: Virtual Live Webinar
Description: Epidemiology and evidence alone cannot provide the answer to the “What should we do?” questions that physicians face every day. Given uncertainty, trade-offs and values, how should patients, clinicians and policymakers decide among
diagnostic and therapeutic choices to make optimal decisions? Medical interventions may have benefits but also adverse effects. Clinical and health policy decisions necessitate weighing benefits and harms and trading off competing objectives. This
oration will discuss integrating the science (evidence) and art (uncertainty and patient values) for optimal, evidence-based efficient patient-centered care choices in the face of uncertainty.
